Chairman's Message



PAA breaks training record ... again

This year marks Andy Verwer's 10th Profibus Training Tour to Australia.

For the Profibus Association of Australia, this is a landmark achievement and a testimony to our long-term commitment to the manufacturing, mining and process industries.

The sell-out November Training Tour includes Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane and represents the second Tour in succession where class attendance numbers have exceeded previous records.

What key message can our industry derive from this major achievement?

Firstly, the growing popularity of Profibus in the mining and water industries is due to superior speed and reliability, which translates into greater profitability and production output for end users.

And secondly, plant operators now better understand the importance of providing their engineers and technicians with expert knowledge on Profibus technology through accredited training courses certified by Profibus International. Learning on the job can be detrimental to a company's operations and is certainly not an option that should ever be considered.

I hope to see you at the Profibus EXPO in Perth on 10 November 2011. Bring a friend and enjoy an entertaining line-up of speakers at our full day Technical Forum & Exhibition.
